Black olive, cola, tar, Amaro and violets. Evolved numerous times over a 3 hour drinking window. Tannins make themselves apparent early in the mid and they were deliciously chewy and expansive without becoming overbearing or clumsy. Would've loved to see how the fruit looked and how the ferments were conducted to craft this wine!

Robe noire reflet acajou sur les bords
Nez réglisse d épices chaudes de cerise noire et cacao
Bouche pleine voluptueuse avec une fianle qui chauffe un peu
Plus Barolo que Barbaresco

Rhino mags. In their youth, La Spinetta wines are just too much for my taste. Pre-conceived notions shoved aside (and w age), this wine is delicious.

Beastly. Intense and richly plummy after 2 hours in decanter/ glass. Oxidative at first (par for the course with Spinetta) but built itself up into a flashy modern and solid wine.
